When I got home, it was late afternoon. Rena has to get ready to go to grandpa's birthday.
“halo alex are you still in the office?”
“we must be ready to go to the birthday event grandpa” said rena.
“iya I will prepare from here and will pick you up later”
“you get ready now” replied alex.
“ alright then” said rena.
The phone was disconnected.
Rena went upstairs to prepare herself. She was not very good at dressing up but the results were decent.
After 1 hour more to get ready, rena finally finished dressing up and went downstairs.
Downstairs, Alex is waiting for rena. As he saw the rena descending, alex looked at the rena in astonishment and fell silent.
Seeing alex rena's reaction was proud of his hard work.
“hei, don't you want to say something?” ask rena.
Alex regained consciousness and smiled at rena.
“you are very beautiful tonight” said alex.
“thank you, you are also very handsome alex” said rena smile.
Rena and Alexpun enter the car and leave together.
It took quite a long time to go to grandfather's house because the location was in the villa around the mountain.
“is it still far?” ask rena.
“any minute” replied alex.
“hah, fortunately I brought make up” said rena leaning on alex.
“grandfather, what kind of person is he?” ask rena.
“grandfather, he's a chatty old man. But he was very kind to me and very considerate” replied alex smiling little.
Looking at Alex's expression, it was seen that he loved grandfather very much.
“has grandpa's condition improved?”
“I heard he had been in a coma for quite a long time” asked rena.
“grandfather was in a coma for 3 years, when he woke up he did not remember anything and was reluctant to speak” said alex sadly.
Rena was shocked to hear this.
The coma? Memory loss? I remember in the novel after the birthday show Grandpa's state was getting worse.
“but recently the state of grandfather has started to improve” continued alex smile.
“kakek has now started talking” said alex looking rena with a smile.
“really? Then I also have to try hard to help grandfather to improve” said rena confidently.
“ayo we once visited grandpa” continue rena again.
Hearing rena's words, alex was deeply touched and rubbed his rena head.
“hei, what are you doing?”
Rena hits alex's hand.
“I've been trying hard to do my hair, don't hold it” said rena upset.
The more the rena forbid it the more alex wants to hold it.
“ALEX” scream rena.
“hahahhaa” laughter alex.
“sial” says rena.
The villa anderson.
“grandfather time to get ready” said ren na.
Seeing ren na grandpa frowning.
“who are you?” asked grandpa in a cold voice.
Ren na was shocked and looked at grandfather.
“k-grandpa what are you talking about? I'm ren na”
“do you not know me?”
“what's your head starting to hurt again?” ask ren na.
“i ask once again who are you?” said grandpa staring at ren na sharp.
Rena was very scared and trembling.
In the party hall.
“this event is really majestic” said a guest.
“of course, this is the anderson” family
At this moment there was a noise, many guests were looking towards that voice. Turns out the martinez family entered the party and his son-in-law reza anderson.
“the martinez family is very lucky to be able to enter the anderson” family whispered a guest.
“iya, but did not reza initially fight with rena martinez?” ask another guest.
“hey do you not know the story?”
“rena is not the martinez” family's biological child replied the guest.
“hah? Is true. But despite so-“
“and also rena martinez is a woman who is not good” continued the guest.
“dia often go to the club tease men outside-“
Before this woman finished her talk, someone spilled a little drink of her passion.
“hei” shouted the woman and looked at the person who spilled it.
“k-karin cartel” says woman does not believe.
“m-forgive us” the woman quickly went away leaving karin.
“hei karin did you make other women cry again” said a man.
“not your business” replied karin indifferently.
“where is your friend you are talking about?”
“I did not expect you to have friends” continued the man looked around curiously.
Karin kicked the man's leg and left.
“hei wait for me” said the man chasing karin.
This man is a cartel kenzo, the first brother of karin, the successor to the catfish family, and he is very possessive of karin.
“hahahha brother did you make karin brother upset again” said another man.
“as usual you always make sister karin upset” said the other man.
These two men are the younger brother of karin named waldo cartel and walten cartel are both twins. They love karin very much.
“apa? I only asked about his friend” replied Kenzo sadly.
“what are you doing here? Where's your sister? What if there is a man who bothers him” said a man.
this man is the head of a cartel family, the cartel william. The father loved all his children but his attitude towards karin was different and very possessive.
The cartel family loves karin very much because she is the only woman in their family. Karin's mother had already died in childbirth and they became more protective of karin when an accident occurred against karin several years ago.
“well we will look for karin first” said kenzo seriously.
Kenzo and the twins go in search of karin.
A little while later the owner of the event entered the hall. Looks like Anderson's family and ren na went with grandpa.
Ren na was currently still trembling, he looked at grandfather fearfully.
Next to ren na is alex's stepmother named ane allen. Ane looked at ren na with a sharp gaze.
Realizing the gaze of the person next to her ren na clasped tightly onto the grandfather wheelchair.
A while ago before entering the hall.
In grandpa's room.
“tell me everything that happened” said grandfather.
Ren na he lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly.
“ak-I don't know what grandpa is talking about” replied ren na trembling.
“do I have to say it one more time?” asked grandpa in a cold voice.
Ren na trembled and began to tell him everything that happened 7 years ago.
Hearing ren na's story, grandfather frowned.
Reza's? How dare he hurt rena. But I didn't expect alex to marry rena by her nature. It's better than marrying Reza. Looks like rena will be present at this event, I have to apologize to her later.
“good you for a while now remain as usual. When it's time to go then go” said grandfather.
“t-but grandfather although I am not a real rena I have been taking care of you all this time” said rena panic.
“you will get rewarded for this, now come out” said grandfather indifferently.
“alah” replied ren na sad.
When he came out of Grandpa's room, there was a woman waiting outside.
“ny-mrs what are you doing here?” ren na asked in shock.
Ane took out something in her bag and gave it to ren na.
“ini?” ren na looked at ane.
“if you still want to enjoy the advantages of the anderson family give this to the parents it”
“insert kemakanannya without being caught” said ane.
“t-but” said ren na in disbelief.
“think of your parents” said ane, then she walked away.
Seeing ane go rena grasped the object and made a decision.
That was the story of a while ago.
At the moment ren na is still hesitant even though he has decided to follow madam anderson.
Moments later rena and lex entered the hall. The guests who were present saw them and started to be noisy.
“hei who is alex's partner?”
“waaah she is so beautiful?”
“i'm like I've seen that woman”
“iya like famili”
Moments later they realized who the woman was and stared at each other in disbelief.
“RENA???”
Another guest heard that and looked rena in disbelief.
“doesn't many say that she likes to wear thick makeup and not be too pretty?” ask a man in surprise.
“iya I also heard all that” replied the other man.
“ini is very different from rumour”
“ren is so beautiful, why reza left it”
“ compared to rani she is very much prettier” said a man.
Seeing alex and rena together somehow reza was very upset.
Rani who was standing next to Reza saw Reza's expression when she saw rena and alex.
Rani frowned staring at rena sharply.
Ren na who was still thinking about it, his attention was distracted by rena and alex. Ren na looked at his wallet containing the thing and gritted his teeth. He had currently rounded up his resolve.
